    The Project Management Institute (PMI) has published the 6th edition of A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK® Guide) and a companion guide dedicated to agile practices.

    The impetus?

    According to the PMI 2017 Pulse of the Profession® report, a full 71% of organizations say they are using agile approaches for their projects sometimes, often, or always. And yet, for many practitioners the adoption of agile practices often means a diminished role for the project manager.

    Join Bonnie Cooper in this webinar to explore the agile infusion in the PMBOK® Guide and the companion Agile Practice Guide, as well, and the reality of trying to integrate traditional project management and incremental, adaptive development practices.

    Learning goals:

    • Review of the PMBOK Guide – Sixth Edition changes and Agile Practice Guide
    • Discuss what it means to be an agile project manager
    • Discuss the reality of the integration between traditional project management and agile development practices

    Change Means Giving Up Old Behaviors & Adopting New Ones

    When organization or teams start on a journey to adopt agile, both practices and mindset, these new behaviors can create some friction with established and comfortable behaviors.

    Recognizing where these “rubs” will occur and the all too common anti-patterns typically adopted to address them can prepare managers and teams for this change.

    If you’ve ever been in a discussion and found yourself saying, “But we can’t do that here.” or Yeah, we tried that too; didn’t work for us, either!”, then you have experienced either a rub or an anti-patterns.

    Teams and organizations that are new to Agile often face some common challenges. Through trial and error they attempt to adjust and resolve these issues.

    Agile will challenge existing policies and processes that are comfortable but may not be getting the desired results.

    Often, what seem to be logical and prudent responses actually produce a result that is the opposite of the desired outcome creating more problems than it solves.

    These solutions that seem to make sense but in practice don’t work are called anti-patterns.

    In this session Geof Lory will examine numerous Agile Organizational Rubs and Anti-patterns that are commonly encountered, why they would seem to work and why they don’t, along with suggestions for solutions that truly do work.

    Join Geof Lory  a senior Fissure guide and certified ScrumMaster from the Scrum Alliance for this insightful webinar.

    Presenter: Geof Lory PMP ACP CSM (LinkedIn profile) is a SPL instructor, SPL Board member, project manager, consultant, trainer and writer.
